Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Hey dude. Not much here, just waking up from my 100 nap/coma thing. and Jade is off lurking somewhere....you?))

((Yea, but even a Saiya-jin can't heal completely in three days after such a beating when he has no help.))

By now, as the Saiya-jin forced himself to stand, he was growling not only for having his guard down so long, but also from the pain he was in. He wasn't sure if he could remember being in pain like this for so long. Usually Merena was there to help him out, but given the current situation, he didn't want her around. Not if it meant her risking her life.

With another growl, Caine grabbed the bottle of Jack that was by the couch and slowly started moving from the lounge, taking a left out of it and heading for the hallway, and then another left to go down to the springs.

He needed to get this dried blood off somehow.

((Alright, just going to lurk I see. I'm gonna do some soloing I guess, until things get more exciting...))

It took a while for Caine to get down to the hotsprings, walking stiffly down the stairs and emerging into the large area. He paused for a moment, leaning heavily against the wall as he caught his breath. The growl still rumbled in his throat, realizing how pathetic he must look. But still, a slow smirk came to his face.

Well, User got his laughs, but as soon as I told him what attacked me, he paniced like a child would....stupid fool....

With a slight snicker, Caine walked over to the edge of the water and sat down. Carefully and slowly, he took off his shirt, wincing visibly as he turned his busted right arm, the bandages that Unks had put on days ago slowly starting to turn red from wounds that reopened. Now just in his pants with his shirt and shoes behind him, Caine slipped into the hot water.

He took in a sharp breath as the hot water scorched his wounded and open flesh, bringing a fresh flow of blood from them and pulling off dried blood and dirt.

After a moment of intense, searing pain, it soon subsided to a more relaxed kind of heat. Caine sighed a little and closed his eyes, sinking further into the water. THe liquid around him was tinged a pale pink from the blood that had spread out in the water before slowly fading away as it flowed away from him. The Saiya-jin's tail lashed out under the water, stirring it up.

That....thing.....Hard to believe that Cooler spent so much time and resources developing him....all to get two deserters....

He snickered slighlty, a smirk crossing his face.

Well, two deserters that could possibly, and plan to destroy him and his empire.....still.....to go through with that Project.....

Caine slowly opened his dual colored eyes, turning his head slighlty and looking back at the wall behind him, the general direction of the stadium in relation to where he was.

Hmm...that Unks guy is getting pretty powerful....he might actually present a challenge when we fight...

He snickered slightly at the thought, looking at his right arm and clenching his fist tight. The pain was incredible, but if he could endure this, then he'd be able to take more later. He smirked again and reached behind him to the bottle of Jack Daniels he'd brought down with him, taking a long pull from it.

Having arrived moments after Unks had begun his training she watched him flare about his power like a child with a new toy. It was always a draw back of high energy expenditure, that it seemed to dull one's senses.

Looking at him from afar she awaited when he would notice that she had arrived. She had only stepped out of the Orion to go shopping. It had been a considerable amount of time since she had allowed herself to put aside all her responsibilties to just enjoy herself at the shops. Though money was not particularily an issue for her she had found that non-magic oriented shops tended to be ridiculously high priced.

'You having fun there?"

Leaning upon her staff she gazed at the charging Saiya-jin, in mock annoyance.

Eventually, Caine grew tired of the stained water that flowed around him and stood up. Trickles of blood ran down his arms, thinned out by the water that was running off of his skin as well. At a first glance, it could be a fearsome sight, a battle scarred and wounded Saiya-jin, shirtless and soaked with blood and water standing there, a cold smirk on his face.

Caine couldn't help but laugh. To think Cooler would go to this to get him and User...it was amusing. Even still, he wouldn't team up with User, at least not willingly. He was still out to kill the Princling one day.

He stepped slowly up and out of the water, letting it drip off of him and his pants onto the floor as he grabbed his shirt and shoes, and bottle of booze. As he walked by, he tossed a towel around his shoulders and started up the stairs. The hot water had at least loosened him up a little. Maybe now he could focus on healing faster.

::Nodding to his wife at what she said about his training going well, and about how well her day went. He moved closer to her and wrapped his arms around her hugging her tightly. He moved his face closer to her's and placed a kiss on her lips. He back offed and went back to the center of the ring, and got into his fighting stance::

"I guess you can say that. Words are one thing, but they don't compare to actions. Come love, let me show you."
